No. I'm not a big fan anymore. I'm in the eight-ish year club and I can't even talk myself into buying gold as a charitable thing.

Its value has decreased substantially to me with time. My answer to this would have been very different years ago, but now the site is too full of what I consider to be mediocre content that seems weighted really high. For example common expressions used over and over like "nature you scary" should be given a huge penalty hit. For goodness sake, looking at the site in an incognito window right now not only is a story on the frontpage twice, it is the same URL with one different query parameter.

Complaining about the front page of Reddit is like complaining about how newsstands are just filled with gossip magazines.

Of course the majority will be for the common denominator. But luckily there are some great subreddits, just like there's many great niche magazines.

Check out reddit.com/r/truereddit to begin with. It's probably closest to what reddit was back in the days.

I don't pay for those either.
